Tin* Maryville team blew Into Atlanta Friday night, and the men nr»* all ready for trouble. They have already played one game, a practice affair, against tin* American university, which they won In fine style. The men are husky looking propositions, nnd will no doubt entertain the Tech tenm to the fullest. They have been coached by It. K. Dickson, an ex Penn sylvonia player, nnd he seems confident that they will make a g«*od showing. The Tech team has t*cen weakened at the last moment by the departure from college of Lee Wert, one of the team's Strongest candidates. Mr. Wert has de cided to give up college work nnd go Into business. The departure of Wert will hurt the t?am materially, for he was a first- class plater. However, with Poach Helsman nt the helm, there will 1m* something stirring all along th** Hue. and there need be no fe;i that Tech will be djsgraei*d. Th** game will be called at 3 oV|, M * this afternoon, and It wilt undoubtedly be put through in fast time.

"Long live the King!’ (s the cry of the thousands of racing tie votooa here In the Fast at the present ment. A year ago It was Hysouby, nnd to- dny Salvidere Is the Hon. "Greater than flyaonby,” "Hamburg might have been bis equal,*’ "the perfect Ameri ran thoroughbre*!.” Such are tin* undo dramatic encomiums concerning Kulviderf one hears Just now; III fart, mo great a here has the colt l*ecome that tin* nrlght.»n Ileacb Racing Association, nt wh*»s** track racing *»pens for a we**k's run next Mondny, Is out with an offer of a sweepstakes with *5.<W added If Salvidere will be entered by his owners against Electioneer, winner **f th** Futurity, nnd Fountnlnblue. Hut that Salvidere will be seen again this •eason la not probable, for he needs a rest. Salvidere la the best nnd only real high class race horse developed this past sum mer of racing. Salvidere has beaten every 2-year-old of pretension In th** lists. Here are some farts concerning this ban ner colt; He Is a gehllng and wns bred by Jnmes Galway. The ■tallloti Itelvldere slr«*d Salvidere and Sallle of Navarro was his dnm. An agent of the late Captain Sam Ilrown bought Kalvldere ns a yearling for 11,100. Salvidere, with n score of other youngsters, was turned over to Trainer Hob Tucker to be pointed for the races last April. Two months earlier Captain Krown had died In Pittsburg. Pa., and his turf In terests reverted to W. Harry Hrnwn, the deceased’a brother. Horse racing stood ns an al*omluotlon In his eyes. ”1 want you to sell out the stable and farm as soon as you can find half-decent purchasers," di rected Brown In a talk with Tucker nt Bel mont Park lost May. * *ker then wild the 3-year-old Account- for $45,000 to "Diamond Joe" Urady, rig.it after the colt had won the Withers stakes. Since then Accountant has won over $95,000 lu stakes, ami his owner has cashed $50,000 worth of bets on his suc cesses. Along at Brighton Beach Brown thought Tucker had beter clean out a few more. Then came a paddock mile. Pen- nurds, a $35,000 winner since then, went for $2,500; Frank Gill, a g*M*d colt, brought $3,190. and snlrlftere. In! and behold, was knocked doWu t*» John K. Madden for but $3,700. Huivlderc, as aforementioned, bad been beaten by Fotintulnliltie In n sort of scratch scramble, but It served to show Madden tin* flue points of bis racing action. Walking Into the ring on the day of the sale. Madden was surprised to see tin* colt on tile sab* list. "What nr** you fffing to s**ll that colt for. Bob?" naked Madden of Tucker, the latter replying In effect that th** youngster's off fore foot was soft nnd sore. Madden, a muster In the treatment of a thoroughbred's foot, examined the af fected member nnd then silently stole away. Securing Charley White, the prise fight r« cree. In* wild: "Go to $10,000 for Hulvlde for me." "Lucky Jack" McGinnis, tin* man who beats more bmg shots than any other bettor on tin* turf, started to nibble **n Sal- •Mere. / Noon Madden wns telling him of the bn 1 drpfoot. Jack qnlt. Whit**, got Salvidere for $3,700 as aforementioned. Madden Is racing in partnership with the Messrs. F. U. Hitchcock. "You can have a half Interest lu tills eolt If you want It. Tom," sold Madden after the sale, and Hitchcock took up the offer. Since then Salvidere has not been defeated, winning light stake events nnd a little over $52,000 In prise money. Mndden started off by using light nluml- outii pads on Mnlvldcre’s touchy foot. Th** Kara toga special, of $20,000, was Hal- vldere's biggest triumph, but Ills win of the Junior champion of $15,000 did more to con firm his championship than any other race, for he outstripped Water l'ea.rl and lu* Murid In Impressive style. He Is now In sured for $50,000 agnInst accident en route to Kentucky. Ho Is a lean, stretchy chest nut, but very deep through the heart. He starts very slowly, but can sprint nt least full, half mile. He looks scraggy. Ho Is tough as nulls and leonine lu courage. HaBldere Is flu* real "bulldog race horse" Tth In money today every cent of As n 3 year-old he will win almost that amount with Just fair luck. It Is thought probable that Madden will penult Hatrldcrc to run again this season iiinlei any circumstances. If** will winter at Ham burg Place, Kentucky.

He has lo cated some good players, and he will draft them when his turn com™. This much he has written recently to Chief Joyner. As to what men Smith lias In nilnd. In will not even tell "the chief." Of course It Is to his Interest and to that of the club Hint it daps not leak out whtch men he Is after. It may be mentioned though, with*all confidence, that he has an eye on'an Inflelder, who wlll.be Just what he wants. Here Is what The Springfield, Ohio, News has to say about Smith’s visit to that city: "Billy Smith, of this city, th** clever man ager of the Atlanta club, in the Southern League, Is here. "Billy Is looking for outfielders, ami he stopped over in Cincinnati yesterday nnd called on President Herrmann, of the Reds. "He put In n bid for Jess Becker, o| whom he hns heard good reports. •The Red chief told him thnt Beckw would make the Southern trip with tht Reds In the spring, and would be given a thorough trial. If the youngster Is not needed In the Red gardens, Atlanta will » t .j ft chance for his services. "Billy will spend the bnlance of the we.>$ looking over the material In the Centra! League, In this city nnd Dayton. He alsc expects to make Center Fielder Muggert, of the Bluffton club, an offer, and he may give Marshall Comlnger nnd Goodman, of the same club, a trial lu faster company. "The Atlanta lender will put In two ot three weeks lu this part of the country, and then return to the Georgia nietropolli the wluter. Ho reports a successful season In the South, and expects tc strengthen his team so as to make a hard fight for the pennant In 1307." Nashville Wants a Manager But Nobody Wants That Job If any of you wise baseball guys want a Job as manager of a Class A baseball team, please apply to Nashville. Time was when the average guy would not have stood much chance for thnt Job, but times have changed. The once proud owners of the Nashville franchise arc now willing to close with al most anybody who will agree to stick by the managerial Job for one season, come what may. \ They even go further. They agree to fur nish the manager with nil the advice they • at linn*!. In fact, practically all that the''mu linger will have to do will be to sit around nnd look pleasant. The directors III furnish nil the thinks. They did for Mike Finn, nnd look what an easy time he hail. Job wns such a cinch toward the end thnt Mike resigned, just to get un occupa tion. Another advantage of the job—there nre 9 money worries. The tram never hns any money, and how Is It possible to worry about something you have not? There may be some error In this reasoning, so we will plum to the next point. Not being any next point, It may be men tioned that the Job has been offered to Martin Hogan, and several others and thal the following have been considered ns man agers: John J. McGrow, Napoleon LaJole, Chnrl**i Zimmer, A. C. Anson, A. G. Spalding, mid three or four others. They all said the) had previous engagements. The only real enndldntes for the Job sug gested up to yet nre Al. Raymond. Thomni Parrott. "Rough” Hausen. Whether any m all of them would take It ns n gift remalbi to he proven. It would lie a chance to risk It. and In the meantime If anylwlj wants the Job now Is the great and glorioui time to apply. Will thnt Castro scandal never "Hi down?" Nashville, so It is said, Is sitting up on Its hindlegs and howling for mort money for the Dngo. Birmingham hns re fused to 4?lve It. according to the Nashvlll* American, which paper had the Inside dop* on tho deni from the first.
